Abstract: An indexer retrieves a set of messages generated by a given data source of a plurality of data sources from a data storage. The indexer also processes the set of messages to generate processed data for the given data source and stores the processed data in a cache. The processed data includes a data file with data from the given data source and an index file identifying a location of the data file. The indexer determines when the processed data for the given generation source reaches a threshold size. The indexer also stores the data file of the processed data in the data storage and updates the index file for the processed data to identify the data storage as the location of the data file.

Abstract: Systems and methods of managing operational system components. Maintenance schedules for each of a number of systems are maintained. A worn component scheduled to be replaced in an initial system is identified. An identified component that is scheduled to be removed from another systems and that is able to replace the worn component is identified. Based on the maintenance schedules associated with the systems, the identified component is able to be refurbished after its scheduled removal from the selected remote system in time to be used as a replacement for worn component when it is scheduled to be removed from the initial system. An indication associated with the identified component is stored that indicates that the identified component is scheduled to be: removed from the other system; refurbished; and installed into the initial system at the time of the scheduled removal of the worn component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring emotional states of an individual by using a voice analysis of said individual. The apparatus comprises a voice analyzer operative to input speech specimens, comprising an analog to digital converter operative to perform a digitization process of analog audio vocal segments, and a general emotion reporter, operative to produce an indication of any kind for the monitored general emotions. According to preferred embodiment of the present invention, the speech specimens are provided over the telephone to the voice analyzer and the report of the subject's emotional state includes a “love detection” report based on the individual's sub-conscious emotional state.

Abstract: A method for detecting emotional status of an individual, the method including receiving a speech specimen generated by the individual and deriving therefrom intonation information, and generating an output indication of the individual's emotional status based on the intonation information, wherein the intonation information includes information relating to thorns and wherein the generating step includes computing the individual's excitement level based on the information relating to thorns and generating an output indication of the excitement level, wherein the intonation information also includes information relating to length of plateaus, and wherein the excitement level includes a decreasing function of (a) the number of thorns in at least a portion of the speech specimen and of (b) the diversity of plateau length within the portion.
